LegiStorm completes collection of 2008 financial disclosures

Posted by LegiStorm on Wednesday, January 28, 2009
LegiStorm has completed uploading all 2008 personal financial disclosures for members of Congress and their staffers, including all amendments, new employee reports and termination filings.

We have reviewed all the personal financial disclosures filed with the House and the Senate and made sure our 2008 holdings are complete. We've gathered all available disclosures for the staffers in our database and made them available online. A handful of other 2008 disclosures may come in from late filers and we will periodically check to make sure we have them all.

Not all staffers are required to file disclosures. Only the top-earning staffers or those holding the most important positions in each office are required to file. For more information on financial disclosures, see our About Financial Disclosures page.

LegiStorm is the only site on the web making congressional staffer disclosures available. We are committed to increasing legislative transparency, and feel it is important the financial dealings of the top staffers - who are often instrumental in writing and passing legislation - are open and freely available.
